Are flying in the air, even at this
early day. These have been sent
whisking about by its becoming known
that Levi, the Brattleboro electrician,
was ''sighing for more worlds to con-
qaer." The Free Press having sug-
gested Jacob Estey, Lewis father
in law, for governor moves the Mont
pelier News, as will be seen from the
following clipping, to invent
A New Musical Stop.
1T looks just now as if there was ali
attempt being made to put an Estey stop
on licut-governor Fullcr's supposed polit-
cal ambitions
Again the News says:
ut is insinuated that our genial lieut.
governor Fuller is signing for more
worlds to conquer, and that he is about
prepared to state that Col. Hooker is
wholly incompetent to make binding a.
greement-in fact that the Colonel was i'll
this deplorable condition as far back as
the last Republican convention.
In speaking of Lewis little boom,
along with Valentine, the St. Adams
Sentry, as evidenced by the following
thinks it
kite that wont fly.
- cptprin of \Vipdban, county- pol;+;
clans are trying to boom Mr.. Fuller for
the nomination for governor by the Re
publican convention next year. They kind
ly suggest A. b. Valentine of Bennng-
ton as lieut-governor on the ticket with
Fuller. The tail end of such ticket Sc
far outweighs the head in every particu.
lar that the kite can't fly. Better lop of
Fuller entirely, according to agreement
gentlemen, if you want to boom nomina
tions so early"
We quite agree with the Sentry
that this kite can't fly, and we cam
conceive of one constructed with Lev
as its head that would not be earth
bound, in the same manner, by TIN
superior weight Of the tail.
The Free Press now disclaims an,
intention of pitting the Deacon a
gainst Levi for the very cogent rea
son that he can't honorably be can
didate. We quote its exact words:
"Col. Fuller, as all know, cannot hon.
orably be candidate, against the pledg
made in his behalf in the last State con
vention; and we shall not insult him b,
supposing that he intends to put himsel
or permit his friends to put him in tn
field"
The Free Press continues
1--WE have not undertaken to pick on
candidate for our Windham count,
friends. If we considered ourselves per
mitted to do so, we should probably name
if he were willing, Hon. 3. ID. Harris
one of Yermont's worthiest men, lon.
prominent in her service, honest. intelli
gent, sound in the republican faith, indie
pendent, a thorough gentleman and
good man."

way by which he may go hack ON his
solemn pledge two years ago, (when
he got the nomination for Lieut.
Governor by promising on Bonded
knees not to be candidate for Gov
emor,) without disgusting not only
the people generally but his own par
ticular friends who, for the sake of
his money and to get rid of his inn
portunity, boosted him at the last
State Convention. There is no mis-
take about it, he is itching nightly
throughout every square inch of his
tough hide for further promotion, and
means to have it, in spite of his pledg-
es, if cheek and money will win.
And so he is putting out feelers by
getting his subsidized newspapers to
keep his name before the people by
constantly suggesting that the voters
are absolutely hankering for him.
BOSh 1t won't work, Levi, and
don't you forget we toldyou so. The
people not only don't want you, but
they won't have you at any price !;
and no amount Of wheedling or money
will change their minds. They know
first class sham when they have
once had good look at it, and they
knoU you? 1t is whispered about
that Hooker and others, who got the
nomination for Levi two years ago,
will now refuse to back him further.
This is no more than was expected Of
Hooker, who is neither a fool nor a
liar, and won't stultify and damn
himself, we have always believed and
said, by being used rs cats-paw to
pull Lewis badly burned chestnuts
out of the fire again, now, after pub
licly pledging his honor that the
great inventor of shams should dis
appear after two years Of the Lieut..
Governorship. SO its no-gO Levi,
and the sooner you realize it the bet
ter. As to the talk about dragging
out old Deacon Estey for a second
race, that's all nonsense of course.
The Deacon knows when he has had
enough as well as the next man, and
is too shrewd altogether to get mixed
up in another political race after be-
ing so badly distanced dozen years
ago. When the proper time comes,
Windham county can, and we hope
she will, present man who is tit to be
governor, and one who can command
the respect and support of the whole
state but the first letter Of his name
won't be Levi Fuller, and don't you
forget it

foul and unnatural"
The body of Helen A. Burt, aged
about 30, was found early Sunday
morning in the Connecticut river OPP
posite the railroad station at Brattle-
boro. The victim skirts were drawn
up and tied over her head. Further
examination revealed a large cash on
her head, making it evident that it
was case of foul murder. The
woman, who was of doubtful charac-
ter, had been living in the families of
VIM. Trendall, an Englishman, and
John Sugland, a negro with a hard
reputation, and in whose company the
woman was last seen. Sugland has
been arrested and his examination
commenced Tuesday but had not
been concluded last night. Yester.
day afternoon another negro was ar
rested. 1t is believed that the won.
an was murdered by some of this
gang out Of jealousy, and that the
authorities will succeed in ferreting i
out. Her money and jewelry wer'
found upon her person.

Reduced Rates.

The Union Pacific is making a 30
per cent. reduction in fares which will
tend to so increase its passenger traffic
as to more than make up for any ap-
parent loss. The local fare from Og-
den to Cheyenne after Jan. 1st, is S25
from Salt Lake city to Cheyenne, $27
Ogden and Salt Lake City to the River,
$40; Ogden and Salt Lake City to
Denver, 1st class, $50, I'd class, $25,
commercial $23. The commercial
rate from Ogden to Cheyenne is SEQ;
Salt Lake City to Cheyenne, $22; Og-
den and Salt Lake City to the River,
&35. The theatrical rate between Salt
Lake City, Ogden and the River is
$40 70; Denver, $40 55. The excess
of baggage rate between Ogden and
the River will be 81 per cwt., reduc-
tion of 81 SO; Salt Lake City and
Denver, SO 90, a reduction of 75 cents.
The reduction Of fares tells heaviest
on the Wyoming and Idaho divisions,
where the reduction will average two
cents per mile. The through rates
from the River to Coast points will
also be largely affected.

Greatest Aiming Company.

The greatest mining company in the
world is the enc which owns the Home
stake at Lead City, ID. T., three miles
from Oeadwood. The mine employs
5000 men. tits an extraordinary vein,
300 feet wide a decompossd talcoss
green slate running s. and saving 81 so
on plates. The mine WAS bought in
1875 for 100000 10y George Hearst.
1t was stocked through Haggin & Tevis
at 81 per share. 100000 shares, and has
paid $3,750,0 900 in dividends. There
are ever 100000 in the treasury. The
stock has recently been increased 25,-
900 shares, thus there are now 1875, 900
shares in all. This mine pays $50, 900
month dividend. There are 60 miles
of water bitches and 10 miles of wood
reads. The wosd.cars are emptied on
the hillside, above the mill. The
chute is built so that the wood piles
itself up in front Of the mills and thus
requires no more handling. The four
mills, $50 stamps, are reducing 1850
tons of rock day. Tive hundred
more stamps are to be added. There
is enough ore in sight, it is calculated,
to last so years. The ore in the vein,
for 800 feet in width, is worked like
an open cut, the face of which is now
about 500 feet high. 1t is undercut
and blewn out and thus continued up
ward In this ore oody itself there is
ten-foot vein which mills 800 per
ton. II is used to average the balance.
1t is free milling, remarkably free.
TIE management is the same as that
of the Ontario of Utah, that has paid
100000 and is paying yet at the
rate of rs cents = share a month (100,-
900 shares), also of the Anaconda mine
and m. at Butte City, Montana.
